Xenophon: Hellenika II.3.11 - IV.2.8
edited with an Introduction, Translation and Commentary by Peter Krentz
"It is the best of Xenophon, it is the worst of Xenophon. Readers looking for a carefully researched, well balanced, and reliable narrative of Greek affairs from 404 to 395 (BC) will be disappointed"- the author. This section of the Hellenika includes the trial of Theramenes and the conspiracy of Kinadon.

Xenophon: Hellenika I-II.3.10
edited with an introduction, translation and commentary by P. Krentz.
The Peloponnesian War, according to Thucydides, was the result of the growth of Athenian power. Beginning with the battle of Abydos in 411, this edition covers the Ionian or Dekeleian War, whose end in 404 also brings to a close the Peloponnesian War as a whole. The narrative is all the more valuable for the fact that Xenophon is likely to have been present at a number of the events described. In his very first sentence he mentions a naval battle ...

Plutarch: Malice of Herodotos
with an introduction, translation and commentary by A. J. Bowen
The Malice of Herodotus can perhaps best be described as the
world's earliest known book review. But it is much more than
that, for in the course of 'correcting' with considerable
vituperation what he saw as Herodotus' anti-Greek bias, Plutarch
tells us much about his own attitude to writing history. So that
together with Lucian's How to Write History (see Lucian A
Selection in this series) it forms a basic text for ...

His Life of Cicero is one of his greatest works. It is a valuable historical document, largely based on contemporary sources, and it preserves ...

^BPlutarch: Lives of Aristeides and Cato ~

Plutarch's Lives have always attracted a large number of
admirers, particularly because of his pragmatic concern with
ethics and politics. But Plutarch intended his Lives to be read
in pairs, an intention that is often ignored by those who treat
these works as merely historical sources. This new text and
